In the wake of “500 Knot Transit“, Houston Pilot Lou Vest’s time lapse photography of a recent tranist comes this photography of .
Lou writes:
This is another time lapse video made by setting a camera on a tripod (preferably, in this case a stack of books) and setting it to take a photo every 6 seconds. The playback is at 10 frames per second so the action is shown at 60 times as fast as it actually happened. In this case the part of the trip shown lasted 76 minutes (out of a 5 hour trip). Taken on the upper Houston Ship Channel. Read More…

Some of you may have noticed the recent change we made to gCaptain’s homepage. I will not get into the underlying reasons for the switch, but one thing we (and you hopefully) miss is the “Photo of the Day”. That being said, we want to do our best to promote what a great tool Flickr is for sharing photos amongst professionals and amateurs alike. That is why we are starting Photo Friday, where we will post the slideshow from gCaptain’s regularly updated photostream of favorites from around the Flickr community.

Shipspotters (via Fred Fry’s Discoverer Entry) brings us Zhen Hua 10 Stranded on Beach near Rotterdam!
We detailed the sister ship Zhen Hua 5 ship in a previous video post titled: Time Lapse Video – Moving a Crane
Ship Of The Day tells us:
Today we have a very special report at Ship of the Day. In the night between friday and saturday, the heavy load carrier Zhen Hua 10 (IMO: 7917410, Port of Registry: Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines), which was anchored near Rotterdam, ran adrift in storm conditions and floated towards the Dutch coast, where she finally ran aground at the ‘Slufter’-beach at the Maasvlakte. For a while it appeared that the vessel was in danger of capsizing, but she was soon stable being stuck in the sand. The Zhen Hua 10 is loaded with 5 containercranes (of which one is destined for the new Euromax-terminal at Rotterdam) from Shanghai and has a crew of 33, which are still on board and not injured.

UPDATE:
Dirkjan (creator of the AIS plot seen above) emailed us with the following update:
I have some news: Zhen Hua 10 is floating again since an half hour. I see this on my Shipplotter screen.
Earlier on Monday they managed to turn the vessel 90 deg,
heading to sea, and around midnight they used 3 harbourtugs
and one big tug (Janus IMO 9367504) and this was succesful.
